Bab 86: Teacher
Bai Baoshan and Zhi Lin exchanged glances and nodded. Everything was for the empire, and everything was for Heaven Dou Imperial Academy!
The two also bowed to Chi Yu.
They had already nurtured one ungrateful traitor; this time, they absolutely could not repeat the same mistake!
Seeing this, Chi Yu began to sweat. The three deans were treating her with such reverence and even bowing to her—wasn't this going to shorten their lifespans?
Even if their intentions weren't entirely pure, she had indeed benefited greatly from them!
Without the guidance of these three deans, she wouldn't have been able to grow so much in just one short month.
This was the first time Chi Yu had experienced such a situation, and she was momentarily at a loss, quickly helping the three deans back up.
"Three deans, you don't need to do this..."
In her fluster, Chi Yu even stuttered.
The three deans stroked their beards, very pleased with Chi Yu's reaction.
This child was truly without any scheming!
"Whether or not there is this soul bone, just the kindness from the deans alone means I will do whatever I can to help."
Chi Yu said earnestly.
A favor was a favor, regardless of any ulterior motives.
"Good! With your words, even if I were to die tomorrow, I could rest assured that the academy will be safe for the next hundred years!"
Meng Shenji said with great excitement.
Chi Yu becoming a powerful figure was almost guaranteed!
Breaking through to Titled Douluo was only a matter of time.
In reality, as long as the Heaven Dou Empire didn't fall, Heaven Dou Imperial Academy would be fine.
But they didn't want to go through another situation like when Dugu Bo came knocking and drove people away!
As long as Heaven Dou Imperial Academy could nurture a powerful Titled Douluo, the name alone would serve as a deterrent. Even if Chi Yu wasn't at the academy, anyone thinking of causing trouble would have to reconsider!
This was the power of a strong individual!
Previously, many people opposed the Crown Prince, but after the Martial God Douluo became a guest elder of the Crown Prince's mansion, those voices of opposition grew much quieter.
After Zhongli's sparring session with Yue Guan, those opposing voices nearly disappeared entirely!
In the end, it all came down to strength.
You might not need it, but you can't be without it!
"So, would that make me the first dean?"
Meng Shenji, Zhi Lin, and Chi Yu instinctively looked at Bai Baoshan.
"Uh..."
"You old rascal, even if you leave, I might not leave!"
"Isn't that what you said?"
"I was just giving an example!"
"Fine, you become the first dean, and I'll be the second!"
The three of them had a deep bond, having worked together for decades.
This was just Bai Baoshan joking around to lighten the mood.
After a moment, the three of them regained their composure, especially Meng Shenji and Zhi Lin, who had already seen what was inside the box. Naturally, they were much more nervous and serious than Bai Baoshan.
"Chi Yu, go ahead and open it. If you like it, absorb it on the spot. The three of us will guard you!"
Meng Shenji said with a serious expression.
The truth was that this item was too precious.
If it wasn't absorbed on the spot, they wouldn't feel at ease with Chi Yu taking it out!
Seeing Meng Shenji so serious, Chi Yu nodded and then opened the box...
In an instant, the room was filled with soul power fluctuations and a profound black light.
The powerful soul power surged, causing Chi Yu's mind to momentarily tremble.
The soul power fluctuations from this soul bone were far stronger than the one she had previously acquired!
"Chi Yu, this soul bone can be considered one of the empire's most treasured possessions!"
Meng Shenji explained as he looked at the soul bone.
"This is a left leg soul bone. Although it ranks second to last among the six conventional soul bones, its quality and age place it at the pinnacle of left leg soul bones!"
The ranking of the conventional six soul bones by importance is: torso, head, right arm, left arm, left leg, and right leg.
"This soul bone was dropped by a speed-type beast king with over 95,000 years of cultivation. It's absolutely perfect for an agility-type spirit master."
"Even for me, this is thrilling beyond words..."
Meng Shenji's words were entirely accurate.
Soul bones of the 100,000-year level are nearly impossible to find. A soul bone of 95,000 years is already an extraordinary treasure among extraordinary treasures!
Calling it the pinnacle of left leg soul bones is no exaggeration at all.
Forget about a 95,000-year soul bone—many Titled Douluo don't even have a 50,000-year soul bone.
Chi Yu, now far from the naive little cat girl she was over a month ago, understood the immense value of soul bones.
This soul bone before her was the peak of soul bones below 100,000 years, and its value couldn't be measured in gold!
Moreover, this was a soul bone that suited her perfectly.
"This is too... too valuable..."
"No, it's all worth it!"
Before Chi Yu could finish, Meng Shenji interrupted, his face full of fervor.
"I've said before that as long as you join the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, I... we three..."
At this point, Meng Shenji noticed the resentful expressions on Bai Baoshan and Zhi Lin's faces and quickly changed his tone.
"We three will make sure you get the best resources, helping you reach Titled Douluo with as few detours as possible!"
"When you reach the level of Spirit Sage, we'll apply to the Emperor for another soul bone..."
Xue Ye: You all... (Don't call me Emperor Xue Ye anymore, just call me the Money Machine!)
Among cultivation resources, two things are the most precious!
One is the spirit ring—a spirit ring that suits you is the best resource.
The other is the soul bone!
Soul bones are rare, used up once acquired unless recovered from the deceased.
The drop rate of soul bones is also extremely low, especially for high-level ones, where the beasts themselves are particularly powerful!
Several Contras even lost their lives for this soul bone.
Also, don't underestimate spirit rings as resources.
Even if you know exactly what spirit beast will drop the spirit ring you need and that spirit beast is right in front of you, the prerequisite is that you must defeat and kill it!
Spirit beast hunts are usually conducted in teams; solo hunts are rare.
In a one-on-one fight, it's difficult for a spirit master to defeat a spirit beast of the same level, let alone one above their level.
"Chi Yu, quickly absorb it; my eyes are turning red!"
Bai Baoshan turned away, trying hard not to look at the soul bone.
Even if it wasn't a defense-type bone, given its age and quality, does the type even matter anymore?
In fact, Meng Shenji was the most self-restrained of all. Now at level 86, if he were to absorb this soul bone, his spirit power could increase by one or two levels, potentially allowing him to break through to Titled Douluo within his lifetime.
But in the end, he held back.
"Three Deans..."
To say Chi Yu wasn't moved would be a lie!
Especially for someone like Chi Yu, who was still inexperienced in the ways of the world. Most importantly, she could sense the emotions of the three men! They truly had no intention of harming her.
Not even the slightest malice.
"Um, there's only one of me, but if I want to become a disciple, can I take all three of you as my masters?"
